Getting it
Done

How does it get
done? Here, based on experience gained over the years, we present some of our
suggestions relative to getting the day-to-day work done for typical work
activities of practicing geoscientists, engineers, and related
professionals. In the spirit of constructive networking, we
welcome feedback from you relative to
resources, methods, and sources of information.

Resources

What do we need to help us to get it done? The tools of
the trade that we use depend on the work at hand. We are
often involved with groundwater studies of one kind or
another. Geologic Resources, for example, uses and sells (at
a good discount) water level and oil/water interface
meters by Heron Instruments, Inc. These instruments are manufactured of the highest
quality materials and are designed to withstand much use and varying environmental
conditions. We also sell their affordable single-channel data
logger.

In addition, we are resellers of
Golden and Breeze scientific software. We have found Golden's Surfer program to be very helpful for
preparing contour maps of all kinds (e.g. groundwater elevation
maps). Other Golden software programs include Grapher,
Didger, Strater,
and MapViewer to perform graphing,
digitizing, logging, plotting, and mapping. Links to all
kinds of other helpful geoscience/engineering software can be found on
our Internet Software Resources Page.

Other
tools of the trade including maps, books and publications, field
equipment, computer accessories, GPS equipment, and miscellaneous
scientific equipment can be found on our Resources
Page. More field equipment equipment suggestions
can be found on our Field Instrumentation and
Equipment
Pages.

Travel

There are those times when we have to get there to
get it done! For those who have projects, conferences, or
organization meetings to travel to we have collected some helpful Travel
Links. For much of our travel reservations we have found
Expedia to be most helpful for saving both time and money. We are an
affiliate of Expedia.

Remediation

Many of us are involved with site
remediation. For some helpful remediation equipment and
supplies information, go to our Remediation
Related Links Page.

Networking

Lets communicate with each other! In our professional lives it is
often very productive to network with others in the same specialty, or
possibly other specialties.... whether you are
involved with a project, research.... or even for job
hunting. Check out our Networking
Page.

Jobs

Job hunting is another form of
networking. To assist geoscientists, engineers, and related
professionals in this specialized form of networking we have compiled a
number of helpful links and have also started job seeker and employer
databases to assist you in your search. Check out our Jobs
Page.
